• Key Concepts: 
  Operating times in SAP Transportation Management (TM) are used to define the time frames in which transportation activities can take place. This includes the time frames for loading, unloading, and transit. Operating times are used to plan and optimize transportation activities, as well as to ensure that all activities are completed within the specified time frames. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Operating times can be defined in SAP TM by creating a “time profile”. This time profile contains the start and end times for each activity, as well as any additional information such as holidays or special events that may affect the transportation process. Once the time profile is created, it can be assigned to a specific transportation order or shipment. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a time profile, it is important to consider any potential delays that may occur during the transportation process. This includes delays due to traffic, weather, or other unforeseen circumstances. It is also important to consider any holidays or special events that may affect the transportation process.
